Charging battery with Sunforce Solar Controller
2013 Thor Chateau with a Sunforce 30amp solar controller. Can I use a battery Tender Jr charger to charge my house battery while the controller is connected to the battery? Thx

Thanks for the info! No it does not also charge the chassis battery. I will be staying in a spot that is mostly covered and only gets 1/2 hour of sunlight a day and will only have access to 120v electrical for a hour or two a day, so I'd like to try and keep my house battery charged as much as possible. Thanks again!
When the 120v is available (even if only 15a) you would get more amps to the battery using the Rv's own converter than with the battery tender jr. You also have alternator charging and according to the brochure on that rig, an Onan gen. All of that works ok with the solar still connected.
